Its been all over the news lately & ads are playing on TV regarding the brutal treatment of our livestock overseas. Not only do they have to suffer the long journey by ship, they then have to suffer the cruelty of being inhumanely handled, tied with wire, stuffed into car boots & then watch trembling in terror as they wait their turn to have their throats cut & all this in the name of religious practices ie;Halal, Kosher etc. Thankgod for the RSPCA & Animals Australia exposing the brutal operations in the abbatoirs of asia & the middle east and it is blatantly obvious that we cannot guarantee the welfare of livestock once they leave our shores. Lets put an end to this inhumane trade & put an end to the cruelty forever. I believe a total ban on live exports is warranted & if you want to support this go to www.rspca.org.au or www.hsi.org.au/?catID=943 and voice your opposition by signing a petition against the live trade. What do others think?
